Load of old 'Car' Magazines

So sitting up in my parents' loft is every issue of Car magazine from roughly mid-90s through to 2010.
Clearly the logical thing to do would be to take it to the tip and recycle it.

Are these worth anything to anybody? To make matters worse, I'm not even in the UK...

I tried giving away an absolute mountain of Custom PC and PC Format magazines and nobody wanted them. I guess it's due to everything being obsolete or online.

I had a massive bunch of Autosport magazines from the 90s, couldn't give them away either. Felt really bad recycling them!

Maybe worth offering them to car magazine themselves? My brother in law has a huge collection of specific magazines and they borrowed his collection a few times to do photoshoots etc. They probably won't pay you for them but it's less of a waste than binning them all imo

Anything with an interesting review (which is subjective of course) of something like the Escort Cosworth etc you could put on eBay if you can be bothered, otherwise I’m afraid it’s recycle time.

I had loads of Autocar magazines dating back to the late 70’s, sold quite a few on the bay, got a fair bit for the Ford related ones especially XR & RS models and the BMW M cars but the rest got recycled ultimately.

With hindsight I wish I’d filtered out the interesting stuff and kept them.
